National Poetry Day

I’m really looking forward to the launch of ‘True’, my new book of poetry, on National Poetry Day – October 2nd – in Armagh.

National Poetry Day was founded in 1994 to show that poetry has a place in everyone’s life. Poetry brings people together, and that’s so important as our lives have become more fragmented.

The reading takes place in the magnificent Robinson Library and is hosted by the City Chapter, in association with the John Hewitt Society. The library was founded in 1771 and has many treasures, including Jonathan Swift’s own copy of ‘Gulliver’s Travels’.

I’m very much hoping that you will be able to join me and Wendy on Thursday at 7.30pm.
